Job Description What you’d be doing in this role
As Canva scales change continues to be part of our DNA. But we like to think that’s all part of the fun. So this will give you the flavour of the type of things you’ll be working on when you start, but this will likely evolve.

You’re comfortable in Java, with experience designing and scaling distributed systems
You have practical experience with AWS and cloud-native backend infrastructure
You have experience in data engineering or analytics infrastructure – you’re more than comfortable in SQL
You’re passionate about personalization, experimentation and user‑centric systems
You’ve built and scaled systems with high reliability and performance expectations
You’re excited to grow others and lead with clarity, care and candour
You thrive in a fast‑paced, growth‑focused environment
About the team You’ll be joining the Growth supergroup, which exists to make Canva indispensable in people’s lives.
